Dressage Show Coats

What characterises a dressage tail coat?

Dressage is a demanding discipline in equestrian sports, in which the rider’s style and appearance take on the utmost significance. A dressage coat functions in combination with the riding helmet as an integral part of your outfit, and reflects entitlement, athleticism and grace. An ambitious competitive performance is always based on the interaction between horse and rider, as well as on the best possible external appearance.

A sophisticated dressage show coat displays this representative character in serious, colour-coordinated, visually attractive fashion. The fine shadbelly coats are short in the front, like a show jacket, though they come down further in the back. Tail coats come down to just above the knee joint and are comparatively light, which makes for comfortable wearing.

Ornamentation, applications, fashionable buttons and pockets enhance the various tail coats and lend them sophistication. Equestrian show coats have a particular character, and they are significantly more stylish than ordinary equestrian show jackets.

Elegant shadbelly coats are required for both sexes during dressage: We therefore offers elegant dressage coats for men, as well as dressage coats for women. Here women and men will find articles of the best quality and a selection that highlights their personal style when they buy a dressage show coat.

Characteristics and materials of the dressage show coat range

The range of articles for equestrian dressage events are characterised by the following properties and features:

• Competition coats are waist-length jackets with the typical knee-length dovetails. These are known to the specialist as “Schoesse” (“laps”).
• Every dressage show coat available in our shop combines classic entitlement with stylish ambition and the highest functionality required in equestrian sports. In terms of colour, dressage show coats tend to come in muted colours, such as blue, grey or black. The models are always designed to look exquisite, so they underscore the perfect performance.
• Light and soft materials, such as cotton, polypropylene, microfibres or virgin wool, ensure that an equestrian show coat is comfortable to wear. The elastane portion ensures optimum harmonisation of the tail coat's optical qualities with the rider’s comfort.
• Stylish applications and ornaments give some tail coats a personal touch: They provide significant emphasis to the rider's individuality, and set visual accents.
• Particularly in the context of a competition, sufficient freedom of movement is needed for the delicate interaction between rider and dressage horse to succeed. For this reason, a dressage show coat should not be too tight. At the same time, a riding tail coat should not be too large, so it retains its captivating external effect. Under no circumstances should a tail coat be caught by the wind, as this will disturb the sensitive interaction between rider and horse. When you choose the right dressage show coat, always make sure it fits properly. We offer all models in the usual sizes, so you can always find the perfect solution.
• Breathable materials make for perfect regulation of the temperature of the outer clothing worn, and contribute to the rider’s physical comfort.
• Some equestrian show coats are both dirt and water-resistant, with the result that these shadbelly coats fulfil their protective function in dependable fashion, even under adverse conditions.
